Have you ever felt,
The world you live in,
Has been turned inside out?

Have you ever felt,
The time you were,
born into is the wrong time?

Have you ever felt,
that if you could travel back,
one hundred years,

You could change things,
With courage?

I do!

This was an amazing day!
I found my true love today,

I found that one person I want to be with forever and ever!
A person I truly care about and endeavor to love unconditionally.
That very special person I want to spend time with.


In spite of what other people think or say about our relationship.
That special someone that I care about more than myself,
That one love that very few find
In a single lifetime.

This was an amazing day!

Hello, old Friend

I've been here before;
In my memories,
In my dreams,
I've seen you before,

In your dark eyes, I see reflections of my soul,

Is this a dream again?

I'm finally standing here with you, where I belong,
Looking at the bright lights of Korea's Seoul,

I've been waiting so long,
Am I finally here?

I'm not afraid anymore,

I'm with my old friend,
Exploring Korea's Seoul,
Wondering what we should do next,

Am I finally home where I belong?

I am afraid of getting sick.
I am afraid of having to stay inside all the time in my bed.
I am afraid that I will lose all my friends.
I am afraid that my friends will be scared of me because I am sick.
I am even scared my friends will think they can catch this cancer from me.

I am afraid of losing my hair.
I am afraid of all those chemicals the doctors are giving me.
I am afraid that my life will end in pain.
I am afraid that my brain is going to stop working.
I am even afraid I will never have ice cream again.

I want to get healthy again.
I want my hair to grow back.
I want to go outside and play in the sunshine.
I want I want this cancer to disappear.
I even want to taste ice cream again.

I want to ride my bicycle down to the ocean pier.
I want to have my twenty first birthday party.
I want to go shopping for new clothes.
I want to play with all my friends.

I even want to help others who have this horrible disease cancer.

Most of all!
I wish this horrible nightmare of cancer was just a bad dream.

Dreams of an impossible past,
Dreams of a hungry child living in a magical place;

Dreaming as a child of fairy tales, fables and legends;
Dreaming of white tigers, dragon kings, fox girls, and foolish brides;

As a child, I never understood their meanings,
Yet listening to mother speak,
Filled me up with wondrous things,

Now, In the last four years,
These dreams of impossible things
have captured me again,

In my twilight years
with trembling hands,
I try to capture these dreams of an
impossible time,
From my fading memories
of impossible things.
